There's no one that does it better!! That's why Rich, McAfee & half a dozen other sports shows have ripped off/borrowed the formula he developed. It sucks he's only got 4yrs left but he's given us innumerable great times & he deserves to retire & relax. I've been listening or watching since the 1st year he left ESPN & started in his attic, from mancave to mancave. I also used to watch Dan & Keith almost every night on the Big Show in the early-mid 90s. DP is a legend & an icon, period

I love the Dan Patrick show, the best. He’s definitely the best interviewer. The show has no gimmicks like the other guys, straightforward, factual, easy to listen to. Just recently started watching it on Peacock, which is definitely a plus. looking forward to the next four years!

There'll never be another sports guy as cool, fun & relatable as DP. He doesn't put on "a show", he just hangs out with some friends & talks sports & entertainment... while interviewing the biggest stars in the world. Listening is like hanging with your friends at your local pub & talking sports. Everyone wishes they could have a job like the DP Show where you love going to work, Dan & the Danette's have it made... "who's got it better than us" _nobody!_

@nolongerblocked6210 I agree with you. I listen (watch when I can) to the show for the way they interact as much as I do for the takes and interviews. Meat Fridays, Fritzy everythings, Marvins hands, Paulie's snark, Seton's shade, it's all entertaining to me....but I don't think I need to convince you. Thanks for watching!

I honestly can't even comment about this subject because half the time your music was louder than what you were trying to say. Did you even take the time to view & listen to your video before you posted it online? Because if you actually played the whole thing & still felt the audio is fine, then maybe you should find a day job. I'm not usually this mean to people, but if people want to spend time to make a video & post it online to share information about a particular subject matter, then please take that extra step to adjust the audio properly before releasing your material to the internet & hoping to garner consistent viewership.
